Thommessen Marianne Roska Valheim Helene Gram Olsen  \nOslo, November 2020  \nJussbuss has been working with prison law since 1977, and today a separate working group is devoted to this field. Over the years we have built up leading-edge expertise in this field through our regular case surgery at a number of correctional institutions in Norway, particularly in Eastern Norway. We also have close contact and collaboration with the criminal policy network in Norway.  \nSix editions of The Prisoner‘s Handbook have been published since 1987. Inmates of Norwegian prisons have proved to have a persistent, significant need for a comprehensive presentation of the rules that affect them as a group. For this reason, it is our clear goal to ensure that The Prisoner‘s Handbook is available at all correctional institutions, and preferably in every inmate‘s cell. We also know that the Correctional Service themselves use the handbook in their work, and that prisoners’ relatives find the handbook useful to familiarise themselves with the reality of prison life for friends or family members who are serving prison sentences. We issue The Prisoner’s Handbook to anyone who requests it.  \nThe reason that we once again see a need for a revision of The Prisoner‘s Handbook is first and foremost that parts of the handbook have become outdated. Legislation has undergone a number of changes since the last edition and the entire handbook has therefore been updated. In addition, extensive chapters have been divided up in order to make the handbook easier to use, and the text has been rewritten to make the regulations clearer and easier to understand for everyone. We have sought to include more detailed information about the rules for which we have experienced great demand from inmates, such as electronic tagging and Section 12 sentences. We have also written more about transfer to serve a sentence abroad, and have included information about the use of video calls (Skype) .  \nThe work on revising The Prisoner‘s Handbook began in the autumn of 2017. Jussbuss employees have worked on the update concurrently with their studies, or handling of ordinary cases, so that it has been a hectic and exciting year. In view of the great demand for an updated edition, we are very proud and pleased to present the 7th, but certainly not the last, edition of The Prisoner’s Handbook.  \nSince the legal conditions are constantly developing, readers must be aware that changes may have occurred when they read this handbook. Even at the time of writing this edition of The Prisoner‘s Handbook, changes have been notified that will affect some of the book‘s content. If any important changes to the regulations come into force, we will do our best to provide information about this at case surgeries, and whenever we receive enquiries.  \nThis edition of The Prisoner’s Handbook is also available in Norwegian.  \nSince The Prisoner‘s Handbook is distributed free-of-charge to prisons and to anyone else upon request, we depend on receiving financial support for its publication. Jussbuss is mainly financed through grants from the public sector.
